Rudy is a 10 year old Havanese patient of Dr. John Lewis (NorthStar Vets, Robbinsville, NJ). His tumor, an odontogenic fibrosarcoma, was treated by resection and replacement with allograft. View Dr. Lewis’ video detailing the case history here. As of this writing, the 7 week follow up shows that “things are going great” for Rudy!
Another study detailing successful use of VTS’ cortical allograft struts has been recently published by Drs. Chris Snyder, Jason Bleedorn and Jason Soukup (Successful Treatment of Mandibular Nonunion with Cortical Allograft, Cancellous Autograft, and Locking Titanium Miniplates in a Dog, Journal of Veterinary Dentistry, 33(3):160-169, 2016.)
